Introduction

In this article you will learn by example, how to create a Tizen 2.4 mobile native widget and how to share data between a widget, service and a UI application.

In short words, a widget in Tizen is a small application which is displayed on the home screen of a device. Typically we use a clock widget, weather widget, sticky note widget, recent contacts widget etc. Widgets can be created using the Tizen Native API and they can be distributed in the Tizen Store only when accompanied by a regular UI application.

This article is a third article of a “Create a native service for Tizen wearables” series. You will learn how to create a simple circular UI on a wearable device and how to exchange additional requests between the launcher application and the service.
